Description

The picture is a stack of 20 frames, done with Photoshop. The pictures were captured right after the moon passed Zenith. North is down while East is right, cause of the reflector scope i used.

Some noticeable craters are nicely lighted (Franklin, Hercules, Atlas, Cepheus, Geminus,

Cleomedes, Macrobius, Apollonius, Messier and Messier A, Gutenberg, Cook, Goclenius, Magelhaens, Santbech, Steinheil and more).

At the same time, two Mares are visible. Mare Crisium down left (or North-West) and Mare Fecunditatis center left (or West).
